I think Evp's are mostly trash. Almost all of these noises are just sounds in the background or people making sounds themselves and not realizing it. They hear what they want. Also, why would a recorder pick up something that you can't already hear? They pick up the same frequencies that we do. Unless they somehow get some radio frequency which sometimes does happen.

What are the theories behind how evp's are created. I've heard its emf. And i have tried experimenting. But got nothing on the experimental setup and did on the control

Hello,

As said by GodOfGrumpyCats, When recording the sounds there is a lot of factors that come into effect.

1. Know your voice recorder,
A voice recorder can pick up distant noises or even through walls, airvents etc, not always clearly. I once stuck my voice recorder in an old traveling chest and cover it with pillows and wrapped out side with comforters. I then shut the closet door, for an hour i was singing a nursey song. When I played it back, i heard faint parts of the song. People forget that the world moves on and empty houses do amplify the noises from distances.

2. Remembering the source of the sound,
This is what I have against ghost relality shows, Ghost Hunters have so many people wondering around (The cast, the camera crew, the sound guy, director, lunch (yes they have a lunch guy/girl) walking around a very quiet building) that it is impossible to know who is where and who said what or did what when they are listening to the recordings. When you listen to the recording you may of think you heard a noise as a ghost/spirit/unicorn made of cheese that could be just a fellow human or even animal.

3A. Tampering, Evps are very easy to contaminate by accident. Unlike TV shows where they can in a few seconds, slow down a noise and make it clear and sharp it is not possible in reality. I don't want to get techiqcal but slowing down or speeding it up can change the way it sounds.

3B. Tampering, Evps are very easy to contaminate on purpose, either using software or even using their or other peoples voice and make a story up.

4. Power of suggestion, I notice how people will play the sound but give their opinion of the sound they have heard, so people will have that word or sound in mind when listening.

5. Nature, Wind and animal noises do get recorded.

It is easier to claim it is paranormal than taking the hard route and find out what really happened.

A dynamic mic. Can but condencer mic have a high resistance. To rf. Simply by design. And recorders are shielded agenced rf. Along with most electronics. Cause you dont want to be picking up the raido station. In the middle of your lecture your recording

Just a side note here...I have left out my very good mics I use in my band for recording for EVPs and all I get is the normal noises of my dog and cats; sometimes some outside noise...

Quote of the week: "When are people going to learn? The rapture is like a health inspection. They don't anounce when they're coming, otherwise you could let things go all year and clean everything up right before they come. The plan is to catch you off guard, so they can see what state things are kept in an on going basis." - ZeddKnite

I found something about braces picking up radio signals. Apparently its only am singles and the teeth act as a crystal like in an old crystal radio. But you half to be very close to a high power transmitter The crystal is the tuneing divide in the radio

Listen I don't care what type of mic you are using, if you don't create a legitimate "faraday cage" you aren't keeping outside signals...out, period end of story. Even a poorly constructed faraday cage won't keep all interference/signals out.

So build a faraday cage, put your recording device in it, then get me a "class a evp" and get back to me.
